Barbecued Baked Beans

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	320g / 11oz	Dried Navy or pinto beans
8		Bacon - diced
1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	Onion - chopped
2 tablespoons	30ml	Corn syrup
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chili powder
1 tablespoon	15ml	Hot red chile pepper (small)
3/4 cup	46g / 1.6oz	Tomato catsup
2 tablespoons	30ml	Prepared mustard
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1		Generous dash hot pepper sauce

Recipe Instructions

Soak beans overnight in cold water to cover. Fry bacon until crisp. Drain drippings from bacon into baking dish or small bean pot. Add all remaining ingredients to fat and blend. Drain beans and add to mixture. Blend. Crumble the crisp bacon over top. Add water just to cover beans.

Cover dish or bean pot and bake at 325F for 2 hours. Add more hot water if needed. Uncover beans during last 20 to 30 minutes. Serve from baking dish.

A slice of smoky bacon rind used instead of the sliced bacon will give a more decidedly country flavor. Brown sugar to taste may replace the corn syrup.

And canned tomatoes may take the place of the catsup -- but if so, correct the seasoning as necessary with a little sugar, salt, cayenne and a pinch of ground allspice.
